Wives After God: Encouraging Each Other In Faith & Marriage Paperback – September 27, 2013

I started this to read along with the group following on Facebook. I like the short chapters, the reminders to see our husbands in the correct light; the light of scripture.I will say that I personally had an issue theologically with the first couple paragraphs of day 3 but I've never seen anything from the author on Facebook (where I've been following her for some time) otherwise that gave me pause for concern However, her assertion in day 3 that God created Adam because He (God) wanted/needed the companionship, is NOT a biblical one and I think drawing that conclusion is a REALLY bad idea. It seems to insinuate that God was lacking something within Himself that caused Him to "need" this realtionship with man to help out with that deficiency. From the author's other writings online, I've never seen anything of that sort, so again I think this is a departure from her usual. My point being, that if God lacked ANYTHING He would cease to be God. He chose to create man that man might glorify Him, not because He (God) needed or desired someone to hang out with.Her point in this chapter is God created Eve for Adam because Adam needed a companion, totally Biblical and completely true, but adding something about God's relationship to Adam that is not supported by scripture is, in my opinion dangerously misleading to the reader. That is particularly of concern if the book reaches a new Believer.One last thing, same chapter, is the assertion that God "trusted" Adam to name the animals and that they had trust in their relationship. Again, just not biblical in my opinion. Here she was making the point of how important trust is in our marrital relationships. Totally agree with that, but the leap to an extra-biblical assumption about God's relationship to Adam, just is not wise and can be dangerous.I do like this book so far otherwise, and most people will probably gloss over some of the things I have mentioned, but I also believe that the areas I mentioned are Biblically inaccurate. Anytime we are discussing things, in light of scripture, we MUST remain SOLIDLY scriptural. If, when writing, you want to make a point that you can't support from scripture that's where we, as responsible Christian writers, have to lead in with something like "Ive often wondered if...?" or "Do you ever think about...?" to cue the reader that weve jumped from scripturally supported foundations to our own wonderings. In my opinion to do anything else is dangerous and could mislead younger/less mature believers, and any unbeliever's who might purchase this book.I have 17 or so more days of devotions to read, I'm hopeful I don't come across any other "issues". Overall, I think it's a good read, it has some good suggestions for journaling and also good spouse relationship building for couples.LMAlabama

As I went along with this journey in becoming an unveiled wife, I have noticed that day-by-day, I have changed into someone I never thought I could be. I became gentle, patient, and I humbled myself down. I tend to forgive others now, even though, I don't know them. I am amazed at how the good Lord works in my life. This is the best devotional and one of the best things that ever happened to me. Thank you for helping in revealing the Truth and thank you for bringing me closer to my, Lord. Born of a Catholic mother, as a young woman, I have been contemplating if I should be a Christian doing praise and worship on Sundays, and not in our Catholic Church. I was very afraid to do that, I was covered with great fear that the people around me will judge me, even though I felt so at home at a Christian organization called Church of Christ. Now, I know what to do, I can feel the Truth written all over my heart, and I want my husband to be with me on this amazing journey of rediscovering our Lord, Jesus Christ. May god bless you in all your endeavors.

This challenged me outside of myself, which of course is ALWAYS a good thing!! I'll admit by selfish nature I didn't always like it but I also knew in my mind how incredibly amazing things can be if I go beyond myself. The enemy of my soul sure wasn't a fan of this bc he was attacking me in lots of different ways that made this study a little more challenging for me bc he wanted me to focus on how I feel and the lies that my husband didn't "deserve" this and "your husbands not a believer so why bother, it won't work" but on my gosh the good that comes when we resist the devil, he will flee! Praise God! There are so Many things I loved about this study! So thankful for this study! -Amanda Shepard

As a Christian newlywed I decided to order this book after seeing it advertised all over Facebook and following the author's "The Unveiled Wife" page (and loving all the advice she was giving)! This is a great devotional that you can do once a week or once a month with a few close girlfriends to help encourage each other in your marriages, fellowship together, etc. One of the parts I really liked is the amount of "substance" there was to each chapter. I feel like many devotionals that don't have a video included are way too quick...you're done in five minutes! This has activities to do each week, many (great) open-ended questions to keep discussion going, verses to base things off of, etc. to help you grow closer to our dear Savior and your husband! A must-do for the Christian wife!!

Amazing book! Going through the inspiring daily devotional lessons & reading the accompanying scriptures, prayers, & challenges has taught me alot about being the kind of wife that God created me to be. My marriage is going through a very difficult season right now, and this book gives me hope...I know that if I put my faith in God and His design for my marriage, that through His grace and love, my marriage will survive this devastating storm and after it passes over that my marriage will emerge from the current state of despair and transcend into a stronger, more graceful, beautifully renewed commitment that follows God's covenant and transforms us both into the spouse that God created us to be. Thank you Jennifer for inspiring me daily! Thank you God for not giving up on me and my marriage, please continue to bless us with your grace and love, and keep working miracles in our lives.Amen!

Amazing book. Its been a real gem to my husband and i. Highly recommend this books,her teachings and blogs. Shes an awesome person,who saves marriages!
